The Wentzville School District is one of Missouri's fastest growing, averaging more than 600 new students a year.

The latest structure, Journey Elementary School, continues that trend, featuring long-lasting metal roofing from McElroy Metal.

Kentucky’s LEED Gold-certified, award-winning Louisville Free Public Library (LFPL) Northeast Regional Branch features naturally sustainable RHEINZINK-prePATINA® graphite-grey zinc exterior wall cladding.

Curtis Lemieux is a successful business owner and an accomplished pilot.

The Winn Science Center at St. Mark’s School of Texas has become a signpost of the high quality of the new and upgraded buildings, with its classic copper roof and dome serving as signature design elements for the upscale campus – and they’ve also proved to be models of survivability in the face of severe weather.

When it came time to erect a new office building, Kevin Johnson, owner of Rhoads and Johnson, a design/build construction firm in Fenton, MI, decided to stick to what he does best.

Rather than replacing the existing shingle roof on Cuyahoga Falls City Hall, Garland’s R-Mer® Loc system was chosen to handle the challenging reroof project.

Designers of the Desert Diamond West Valley Casino in the Phoenix area drew on the desert's chameleon-like characteristic as they developed the “dynamic earth” theme that became a touchstone for their plans.

SOLO On Chestnut sits at the corner of 43rd and Chestnut streets in Philadelphia. The 250,000 sq. ft., 7-story multi-use building features over 280 luxury apartments and various retail stores, offering state-of-the-art living in the epicenter of University City, just blocks away from the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University. Featured on the exterior are Omega-Lite® ACM panels from Laminators Incorporated.

With the door usually being a dead giveaway, disguising a garage to look like something other than what it is can be a challenge.

Case in point is the Stewart Home in James Island, South Carolina.

Morgan’s Wonderland Camp serves as a 102-acre recreational getaway for anyone with or without special needs, located in northern San Antonio, Texas. MBCI metal roof and wall panels were used in the construction of three of the ultra-accessible facility's main buildings.
